FULL ANALYSIS
The market is overpricing the Spurs at -5.5 — OMEGA's independent line has this at -2.5, a 3-point gap that signals real value on the Knicks. Bayesian fusion gives Knicks +5.5 a 57.4% cover probability vs market 50%, and sharp money sides away with 1.4% edge on the spread. The total is the most extreme signal: market 119.8 vs OMEGA 179.0, with sharp money showing 22.5% edge and RLM on over. Prediction markets diverge -56.5% favoring away — an extreme contrarian confluence. Whale volume ($7.6M on home) is the only contradictory signal, but Pinnacle efficiency dominates. Data quality is degraded (59%), so confidence is capped at LEAN. Take the Knicks +5.5 and over 119.8 before the market corrects.
SHARP MONEY
Sharp edge on spread is 1.4% favoring away, total sharp edge 22.5% with RLM on over. Prediction markets show -56.5% divergence (EXTREME) favoring away. Whale volume is $7.6M on home side (76% confidence) — this contradicts sharp books, but Pinnacle is more efficient than prediction markets. Default to sharp side: away.
